How profitable is electric heating: comparison with a pellet boiler<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Right at the beginning of the article, it must be said that it is not correct to compare electric heating with the costs of heating with a pellet boiler. These are different technologies that provide different capabilities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, any FOCUS pellet boiler will be almost an order of magnitude cheaper to operate compared to electricity and gas as a heat source. But economical electric boilers are effective in cases where it is not possible to install a pellet boiler or install individual gas heating.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Electric<\/a>

Electric heating is more expensive than a pellet boiler<\/span><\/h2>\n

Manufacturers of thermal panels and electrode boilers are trying to create cost-effective technologies. And it's quite successful. The negative side of this is the comparative fragility of the devices. Moreover, electrode boilers will work much longer than any thermal panel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, using electric heating in a house is not profitable, but it is quite effective as a backup version in addition to fireplace heating, heated floors from a solar system or a pellet boiler. Although, of course, it is difficult to imagine that there is no pellet granule in the household. If this may still be the case, buy a pellet boiler with the ability to manually load fuel when operating in emergency mode. This option is offered by FOCUS by default in most TT boiler models.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Connection<\/a>

When using pellet heating, the level of comfort is maintained at lower costs<\/span><\/h2>\n

Pellet heating allows you to automate home heating and regulate fuel consumption, supplying heat \u201con demand\u201d. What does it mean? This means that the FOCUS boiler is a modification of a solid fuel boiler with a horizontal pipe heat exchanger and a pellet burner controlled by a PLUM microcontroller in accordance with the outdoor, indoor and coolant temperatures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Control data can come from all heating circuits, which is realized using temperature sensors. In addition, you can set heating scenarios using a touch panel or touch thermostats, available for installation in wired and wireless versions. The microcontroller ultimately summarizes the heat demand data and issues control commands to the pellet burner and the auger feeding the pellets. The boiler is also switched on automatically by automatic ignition when the temperature in the room and outside drops below a certain level.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Basic<\/a>
Climate control based on PLUM devices<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Eventually<\/b>, a pellet boiler with any climate control installation can save you heating costs by at least 50-70%. As shown in the illustration, various heating systems can be connected to improve your level of autonomy. Besides everything, it's completely <\/span>heating system<\/b><\/a>, which makes you independent from the pricing policies of utility services, their raids and collection actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the deployment of such a system will be quite expensive; the installation will include:<\/span><\/p>\n
